Manhattan Terror Suspect Has Ties To Ohio

newyorkdailynews.com

The man accused of running down nearly 20 people in New York City on Tuesday is a former Ohio resident.  Ohio tax records indicate Sayfullo Saipov lived in Cuayhoga Falls as recently as 2015.  The records also show he incorporated an automotive business using a Cincinnati address in 2011.  Saipov is accused of killing eight people and injuring several others when he drove a rental truck onto a walking path in Manhattan.  Police say he was shot by officers when he brandished two guns after crashing into a school bus.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
